It's hard enough to miss Toronto street drummer Snooky Tynes when he performs solo at the Yonge and Dundas intersection, befitted as he often is in a fuzzy hat and bespectacled in star-shaped shades. But it's something else entirely when he makes his busking a family affair. The 51-year-old father of four fronts the Tynes, a 60's and 70's funk tribute band in which Snooky's kids are his backup musicians. Here the Tynes play Flash Light by Parliament, Working Day and Night by Michael Jackson, and I Want You Back by the Jackson Five at Yonge-Dundas Square.
